Macaly Review (2026)
Macaly review: an AI builder that turns a prompt, a PDF, a Google Maps listing or an old website into a hosted website or web app, with a database, logins, Stripe payments, analytics and SEO checks built in.
- Free: 1 published app
- Price: Starter $10/mo
- Pro: $30/mo (Oct 24)
- Affiliate: 50% for 6 months (not joined)
Not tested hands-on. Everything below comes from macaly.com (homepage, product menu, pricing page and FAQ) on October 20, 2026. We have not built or published a Macaly project.
Affiliate program exists; we have not joined. Macaly’s partner program on Dub (partners.dub.co/macaly) pays 50% of what each referral spends in their first six months. The links on this page go to the official site and earn us nothing.
Summary
Quick verdict: a friendly, small-business-first AI builder: describe a café, salon or booking site and it builds and hosts it, with a free plan and a $10 Starter plan for one site on your own domain. The weak spot is the credit system: the page does not say what a credit buys, and credits expire every billing period.
- Type what you want (or attach a file, paste a link, or speak) and the Macaly agent builds a full-stack site or app; you keep editing by chat.
- Built in: database for forms, orders and bookings; sign-in with Google, email code or password; cookie-free analytics; an SEO audit after every publish; Stripe payments.
- Hosting is included: a free macaly.app address, or your own domain from Starter up.
- Website tools turn a PDF, an Airbnb listing or a Google Maps link into a site; you can also build from WhatsApp, Telegram, ChatGPT or Claude through Macaly Cloud.
- Free $0; Starter $10 a month; Pro $30 a month for 10M credits; Max $90 a month for 30M; Agency $350 a month (checked October 24, 2026). Prices shown in USD, CZK or EUR.
- Code access and download, rollbacks and a security audit are listed in the plan comparison.

Price snapshot: This is the price at the moment we wrote this review (October 20, 2026). The price may have changed by the time you read it, so check the official site for today’s price.
- Update, October 24, 2026: macaly.com/pricing now shows fixed plans instead of Pro credit tiers: Pro $30 a month (10M credits, 5 published apps), Max $90 (30M, 15 apps); team plans Team $150 (40M), Agency $350 (80M) and Scale $750 (160M). On October 20 Pro started at $25 for 10M. Prices may have changed by the time you read this.
- Unused credits on Free, Starter and Pro expire at the end of each billing period; one-time top-ups last 60 days.
- Extra database storage or API calls cost 200k credits per GiB or per 100,000 calls.
- The page does not say how many credits a typical build or edit uses. Its FAQ says old plans were converted at 1 message = 100,000 credits, so 1M credits is roughly 10 old “messages”.
- If you cancel, a site on a custom domain goes offline at the end of the billing period; projects on the macaly.app address stay up.
Cost per credit (our math)
| Plan | Price | Credits | Per 1M credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $10 | 1M | $10.00 |
| Pro (10M, Oct 24) | $30 | 10M | $3.00 |
| Pro (100M) | $250 | 100M | $2.50 |
| Agency | $350 | 150M | $2.33 |
Our arithmetic from the listed prices. Pro is four times cheaper per credit than Starter, so heavy builders should skip Starter.

The catch
The credit system is hard to budget, and two plans allow only one live site.
- The pricing page lists credits but not what a build or an edit costs in credits.
- Free and Starter both show 1M monthly credits, so Starter mainly buys a custom domain and higher limits, not more building.
- Credits expire at the end of every billing period (except Agency); top-ups expire after 60 days.
- Free and Starter allow one published app at a time; you must unpublish one to launch another.
- Cancel and a custom-domain site goes offline at the end of the period.
- No yearly discount is published, and we found no refund terms on the pricing page.
Verdict
- Free: build and publish one site on macaly.app to see how far 1M credits go.
- Starter ($10/mo): one finished small-business site on your own domain.
- Pro ($30/mo): if you build often or need several sites; much cheaper per credit.
- Agency ($350/mo): only for client work across several workspaces.
This is the price at the moment we wrote this review (October 20, 2026). The price may have changed by the time you read it, so check the official site for today’s price.
Worth trying if: you run a small business or do marketing and want a hosted site with bookings, logins or payments built by chat.
Skip it if: you need a clear per-build price, many live sites on a tiny budget, or full control of the code from day one.
Not tested hands-on. Prices can change; re-check macaly.com/pricing before you buy.
